Extended Tutorials start Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday next week
Extended Tutorial is planned on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays each week this semester and starts August 13th. Students can stay after school for ANY teacher's office hours, clubs, and/or teams and then report to the extended tutorial. Students must be picked up by 6pm on extended tutorial days. This allows families a later window for transportation while allowing students access to extracurriculars and office hours.
The teachers listed below will be hosting this week's extended tutorial.
Keep in mind that even if the teacher/subject you need is not listed, any of the adults can help you make a tutor.com appointment or give you general direction on making the most of your study time.
Magnet Fund Dues are requested by August 9th
Click here to pay 2024 Magnet Fund Dues!
Magnet Fund dues are $220 per student. For families who have multiple students, additional students are $120. Dues are requested to be paid at Open House or by August 9th. A late fee will apply to accounts that are not paid by September 30th.
Rockdale Magnet Fund Inc. is the 501c3 non-profit academic booster club that supports all students at Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology.
Note that the member-elected Board of Directors voted to keep dues the same this year even with rising costs for the many benefits they provide to every student. Annual dues account for 20% of the anticipated income needed. Your support with the planned fundraisers including Monster Dash and a popcorn sale each semester is appreciated.
